FINLAND: NOW THE POLICE ARE REPORTING RISE IN HATE CRIMES, MOST SUPPOSEDLY RACIST IN NATURE…..

Yet none of the rapes and murders by migrant muslim settlers of ethnic Finns are ever determined to be a product of race hate crime.

The pic used by YLE (the state funded faux news organization) wants you to believe Islam is a race, which is no more a race than the republican Party is. It’s subliminal subterfuge meant to sway a reader to their way of thinking.

NOTE: Islam is as much of a ‘race’ as the Republican Party is.

Police report rise in hate crimes; vast majority racist in nature

Researchers at the Police University College say that the number of reported hate crimes appears to be on the rise. A majority of the country’s hate offences occur in southern Finland and up to 80 percent are racist in nature. However police say that most crimes are not reported.

The number of reported hate crimes in Finland appears to be rising after many years of remaining more or less stagnant, according to data maintained by officials at the Police University College.

The data represent crimes actually reported by police throughout the country. College research director Vesa Muttilainen said that up to the present day, statistics have not varied much.

“This phenomenon has been researched in Finland for many years. The number of criminal reports has varied from 700 – 800 a year,” Muttilainen said.

The most recent data available are from 2014 and analysts are still crunching the latest figures. However police hate crime specialist Mäns Enqvist said that it already seems that the number of reported hate offences is on the rise.

“Yes, it’s clearly on the rise. And there are many reasons. Of course one reason is that the climate for discussion in Finland has changed. We are more likely to say anything at all. And that creates a foundation for moving from speech to action,” Enqvist explained.

Enqvist noted that one background factor behind the growth of the phenomenon, has been the recent increase in the number of asylum seekers in the country.

“Naturally the [arrival of] large number of asylum seekers last year has intensified the discussion. It seems that the social climate is now conducive to this type of crime,” he added.

Typical hate crime is racist in nature

Finland’s body of criminal laws offers no definition for a hate crime or a racially-motivated crime. This means that during the course of their investigations, police have had to resort to scientific definitions of such acts.

Hate crimes are so defined of the motive is hatred of the victim’s ethnic or national background, religion convictions of philosophy, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or disability.

However the researchers say that the vast majority of hate crimes have racist characteristics. This has been borne out by the statistics year after year, they say. A recent study showed that more than 80 percent of hate crimes were racist in nature. Muttilainen said that there might be other reasons for the findings.

“Roughly four out of five hate crimes have racist motivations. There may also be other motives involved, such as religion, life philosophy, sexual orientation or disability.”

Offences concentrated in capital region

Crime statistics indicate that more than half of all racist crimes occur in the Uusimaa region of southern Finland. Between 2013 and 2014 officials logged nearly one-third of all racism-related criminal reports in Helsinki. The second-highest number of suspected racist crimes was recorded in Vantaa and the third-highest in Espoo.

Enqvist pointed out that one reason for the grim statistics is the large number of potential victims in these areas.

“Of course in these large cities, where there are also potential victims of hate crimes, naturally it would be numerically concentrated in these areas,” he commented.

The specialist noted that the situation also reflects the number of offences in relation to the population base. He added that there is also a low threshold for hate speech and hate crimes in municipalities with asylum seeker reception centres.

However even within the Uusimaa region there are great variations in crime data. Researchers found few reports of such offences in places like Porvoo and Järvenpää, while Hyvinkää had no recorded criminal reports of racist crimes.

Police call for public to come forward

Police officials say they have already begun to take action to curb incidents of hate crime in Finland. Enqvist said that law enforcement officers are working to network and develop relations with minority groups that may be potential victims of hate crimes.

They hope that this will help lower the threshold for people to come forward and report infractions.

The vast majority of hate crimes are not reported, but police say they want to change that and get a more accurate picture of the phenomenon.

Melting pot societies are the only way to secure the individual…

Multiculturalism is a gross failure. Assimilation, where celebrating one’s own heritage but as a full member of the dominant culture, wins.

There Is No Such Thing As White Cultural Heritage. The West’s Legacy Is Open To All…

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

Daniel Greenfield explains Islam 101:

"Every devout Muslim is an "Islamist". Islam is not a personal religion. It is a religion of the public space. A "moderate" Muslim would have to reject Islam as a religion of the public space, as theocracy, and that secularism would be a rejection of Islam.

Nothing in Islam exists apart from anything else. While liberals view culture and religion as a buffet that they can pick and choose from, it is a single integrated system. If you accept one part, you must accept the whole. Once you accept any aspect of Islam, you must accept its legal system and once you accept that, you must accept its governance and once you accept that, you lose your rights.''

Akef was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted, along with the rest of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, for his involvement in the killing of demonstrators outside the organization's offices in Cairo during the wave of mass protests against the regime of Mohamed Morsi in 2012.
